Diego Sarmiento, their eldest son, was See also:born in the See also:parish of Gondomar, in the bishopric of See also:Tuy, See also:Galicia, See also:Spain, on the 1st of See also:November 1567. He inherited wide estates both in Galicia and in Old See also:Castile. In 1583 he was appointed by See also:- PHILIP

He is said to have taken an active See also:part in the repulse of an See also:English coast-See also:raid in 1585, and in the See also:defence of the See also:country during the unsuccessful English attack on See also:Corunna in 1589. In 1593 he was named corregidor of See also:Toro. In 1603 he was sent from See also:court to See also:Vigo to superintend the See also:distribution of the treasure brought from See also:America by two galleons which were driven to take See also:refuge at Vigo, and on his return was named a member of the See also:board of See also:finance.

time to repel a See also:naval attack made by the Dutch. Although he held military commands, and administrative posts, his habitual See also:residence was at See also:Valladolid, where he owned the Casa del Sol and was already See also:collecting his See also:fine library. He was known as a courtier, and apparently as a friend of the favourite, the See also:duke of See also:Lerma. In 1612 he was chosen as See also:ambassador in See also:England, but did not leave to take up his See also:appointment till May 1613.
His reputation as a diplomatist is based on his two periods of service in England from 1613 to 1618 and from 1619 to 1622. The excellence of his latinity pleased the See also:literary tastes of See also:- JAMES

king's love of books and of See also:peace, and he made skilful use of his See also:desire for a matrimonial See also:alliance between the See also:prince of See also:Wales and a Spanish infanta. The ambassador's task was to keep James from aiding the See also:Protestant states against Spain and the See also:house of See also:Austria, and to avert English attacks on Spanish possessions in America. His success made him odious to the See also:anti-Spanish and puritan parties. The active part he took in promoting the See also:execution of See also:Sir See also:Walter See also:Raleigh aroused particular animosity. He was attacked in See also:pamphlets, and the dramatist See also:- THOMAS

order of the See also:council. In 1617 Sarmiento was created count of Gondomar. In 1618 he obtained leave to come See also:home for his See also:health, but was ordered to return by way of See also:Flanders and See also:France with a See also:diplomatic See also:mission. In 1619 he returned to See also:London, and remained till 1622, when he was allowed to retire. On his return he was named a member of the royal council and governor of one of the king's palaces, and was appointed to a complimentary mission to See also:Vienna. Gondomar was in See also:Madrid when the prince of Wales—afterwards See also:Charles I.—made his See also:journey there in See also:search of a wife. He died at the house of the See also:- CONSTABLE (0. Fr. connestable, Fr. connetable, Med. Lat. comestabilis, conestabilis, constabularius, from the Lat. comes stabuli, count of the stable)

Gondomar was twice married, first to his niece Beatrix Sarmiento, by whom he had no See also:children, and then to his See also:cousin Constanza de Acuna, by whom he had four sons and three daughters. The hatred he aroused in England, which was shown by See also:constant jeers at the intestinal complaint from which he suffered for years, was the best See also:tribute to the zeal with which he served his own See also:master. Gondomar collected, both before he came to London and during his residence there, a very fine
library of printed books and See also:manuscripts. Orders for the arrangement, binding and storing of his books in his house at Valladolid take a prominent See also:place in his voluminous See also:correspondence. In 1785 the library was ceded by his descendant and representative the See also:marquis of Malpica to King Charles III., and it is now in the Royal Library at Madrid. A portrait of Gondomar, attributed to Valazquez, was formerly at See also:Stowe. It was mezzotinted by See also:Robert See also:- COOPER
